These flirting tips for women may just be what the doctor ordered if you're
ready to get back into circulation. Let's face it, going through a divorce
(and the marriage that led up to it) has a way of making you feel a little
gun-shy around the opposite sex. But, it's not a permanent
condition. You can regain your confidence and even catch they eye of that
cute guy around the corner with these tips from Amanda Brown for awakening your inner-flirt.
The Art of Flirting
Like all natural talents, some are born with it, some fake it, and some
consider themselves hopeless. However, we all know that if practice doesn't make
you perfect, it at least makes you a hell of a lot better than when you first
started out. I'm an expert at this topic - ask anyone and they would definitely
say I'm a natural flirt.
Even before I knew what flirting was, I knew people are always drawn to
upbeat positive things. It's not necessary to save all of your flirting for that
cute guy in line. How about the doorman that's constantly ignored or the old
lady in front of the cute guy? Flirting doesn't mean "I want your
body!" It means I acknowledge that you're here, I think you're fab and fun,
and isn't life marvelous?! Just think of those drab, dreary days when someone
has given you a wink or a smile and instantly sparked you up. That is the
foundation for flirting - the thing that I would call good old-fashioned
sweetness.
With all things practice makes perfect. First, we must define the two types
of flirting: Flirting for the Fun of It and Flirting with Intent. You must
master the first before you can be a natural at the second. Flirt with everyone
you encounter for the next 24 hours and see how much better your mood is for it!
Flirting for Fun.
My fav of the two types; the one I constantly aspire to do on a daily basis -
flirting for fun. The first thing to remember is to always be positive! Everyone
is always drawn to the happy, beautiful, delight of a girl. Even complaining can
be charming if it's done well. Rolling your eyes about the wait at the valet
station is fine as long as you've first had a patient, understanding look for at
least two minutes and then follow the eye roll with a big smile and shrug as if
to say "Oh well, if I'm here it's got to be fun!" Treat everyone you
meet as if they are truly a delight and you'll make a terrific first impression
and brighten a lot of days. Now that being said, there is no need to appear that
you've just ingested some suspicious mood altering chemical. Be fun and flirty,
not an aggressive, happy clown.
Flirting with Intent.
You step it up a notch when you do it with intent. Just remember this is not
to be practiced on the weak at heart…even though a quick round of CPR can be
fun when done on the right great looking man!
Here are a few tips that I live by:
1) Use accessories and I don't mean grandma's pearls! I've found that hats
are the best conversation starter ever! Fun, stylish hats - not your ex's
baseball cap. I know that hats aren't for everyone so if you're not comfortable
with a hat choose something else that will generate conversation. A cool vintage
coat or a jamming pair of shades. Try to always have an item on you or in your
possession that "speaks."
If you want a cowboy, and who doesn't?! Rock a smokin' huge belt buckle with
your jeans and boots. Business man your thing? Carry a dog eared copy of Wall
Street Journal around. Just make sure you've at least got the basics down or
you're headed for disaster!
2) Be a lady, and I use that term loosely! But Momma was right! Stand up
straight, shoulders back, chest out, stomach in! Confidence shows in your
posture. No one wants the wallflower chewing her cuticles on the sidelines. Walk
into the room like you're the surprise everyone was waiting for! Lift your chin
¾ of an inch higher than normal. It's not snooty, it's confidence! Try it, it
really does work!
3) Now, to that entrance. Every woman should have a trademark. Whether it's
your unusual jewelry or your amazing hair, find yours and use it. Wear sexy
shoes! Mine happens to be stilettos. I can walk into my fave little bar and the
bartender greets me and then says "lets see 'em." I then kick up my
leg to show whatever fantasy in leather I've chosen for the day. You won't catch
me out of my heels unless I'm chillin' in sweats. Clean your house, walk the
dog, do everything in them so that you are a natural in sexy shoes. Remember
Tina Fabulous from the Bachelor that could throw and catch the perfect spiral in
5 inch stilettos? Now that's a real woman! Anyone laughing secretly wishes they
could do the same!
4) So you've made your amazing entrance and spotted him. Have direct eye
contact for 4 seconds (I like a slight wink here!). Then ignore him for 12
seconds and glance back for 2 seconds max! Yeah, he was waiting for the glance
back! This is all done within the first minute of spotting him and you'll know
whether or not it's a go. Now what you do from this point is completely up to
you. Besides, if you've tried out these tips he should be sending a drink your
way any moment!
